+// posix_spawn() example
+//
+// This program demonstrates the use of posix_spawn() to run the command
+// `ls --dired` and capture its output. It teaches several key features:
+//
+// - Changing the working directory for the child process
+// - Redirecting stdout and stderr to pipes
+// - Handling the output from the child process
+//
+// The primary advantage of using posix_spawn() instead of the
+// traditional fork()/execve() combination for launching processes is
+// safety, efficiency, and cross-platform compatibility.
+//
+// 1. On Linux, FreeBSD, and NetBSD:
+//
+//    Cosmopolitan Libc's posix_spawn() uses vfork() under the hood on
+//    these platforms automatically, since it's faster than fork(). It's
+//    because vfork() creates a child process without needing to copy
+//    the parent's page tables, making it more efficient, especially for
+//    large processes. Furthermore, vfork() avoids the need to acquire
+//    every single mutex (see pthread_atfork() for more details) which
+//    makes it scalable in multi-threaded apps, since the other threads
+//    in your app can keep going while the spawning thread waits for the
+//    subprocess to call execve(). Normally vfork() is error-prone since
+//    there exists few functions that are @vforksafe. the posix_spawn()
+//    API is designed to offer maximum assurance that you can't shoot
+//    yourself in the foot. If you do, then file a bug with Cosmo.
+//
+// 2. On Windows:
+//
+//    posix_spawn() avoids fork() entirely. Windows doesn't natively
+//    support fork(), and emulating it can be slow and memory-intensive.
+//    By using posix_spawn(), we get a much faster process creation on
+//    Windows systems, because it only needs to call CreateProcess().
+//    Your file actions are replayed beforehand in a simulated way. Only
+//    Cosmopolitan Libc offers this level of quality. With Cygwin you'd
+//    have to use its proprietary APIs to achieve the same performance.
+//
+// 3. Simplified error handling:
+//
+//    posix_spawn() combines process creation and program execution in a
+//    single call, reducing the points of failure and simplifying error
+//    handling. One important thing that happens with Cosmopolitan's
+//    posix_spawn() implementation is that the error code of execve()
+//    inside your subprocess, should it fail, will be propagated to your
+//    parent process. This will happen efficiently via vfork() shared
+//    memory in the event your Linux environment supports this. If it
+//    doesn't, then Cosmopolitan will fall back to a throwaway pipe().
+//    The pipe is needed on platforms like XNU and OpenBSD which do not
+//    support vfork(). It's also needed under QEMU User.
+//
+// 4. Signal safety:
+//
+//    posix_spawn() guarantees your signal handler callback functions
+//    won't be executed in the child process. By default, it'll remove
+//    sigaction() callbacks atomically. This ensures that if something
+//    like a SIGTERM or SIGHUP is sent to the child process before it's
+//    had a chance to call execve(), then the child process will simply
+//    be terminated (like the spawned process would) instead of running
+//    whatever signal handlers the spawning process has installed. If
+//    you've set some signals to SIG_IGN, then that'll be preserved for
+//    the child process by posix_spawn(), unless you explicitly call
+//    posix_spawnattr_setsigdefault() to reset them.
+//
+// 5. Portability:
+//
+//    posix_spawn() is part of the POSIX standard, making it more
+//    portable across different UNIX-like systems and Windows (with
+//    appropriate libraries). Even the non-POSIX APIs we use here are
+//    portable; e.g. posix_spawn_file_actions_addchdir_np() is supported
+//    by glibc, musl, freebsd, and apple too.
+//
+// These benefits make posix_spawn() a preferred choice for efficient
+// and portable process creation in many scenarios, especially when
+// launching many processes or on systems where process creation
+// performance is critical.
